Swimming my first 1000 free Sunday. How should this be paced based on the 500? If I average 1:14's for the 500, can I hold this or will breakfeast reverse on me?

I lived my young life as a distance swimmer and now as a master, I am still doing it. The best advice I can give is:
- do not to pace off anyone (I cant tell you how many times i got "hooked" going out fast with someone or having some sand-bagger in my heat that is really 40 seconds faster than the time they entered):bouncing:
- make sure to talk to your counter and have a game plan on where you want to be at the different points in the race and what signals to use with the counter (I use 500 & 800 to see if I am on pace):blah:
- try to work your turns. Its amazing how much time you can shave off just by working your turns. :bliss:
GOOD LUCK!
